3.12 ROAS on these AI ads!

Yo!

So I mentioned a while back that I want to move all my advertising to YouTube as I think it's a channel with a better future than Meta.

This is kind of a good news / bad news situation.

The bad news is I made exactly $0 from my YT ads.

I wanted to see cashflow climb back up again so I jumped back into FB ads.

The good news?

I spun up a quick campaign with a small budget of £20 / day to test thw waters.

After £100 in spend, I made over £300 back. Not too shabby.

These ads were written by AI.

The ad creative was designed with AI.

I just basically built out the campaign.

I thought I'd run through the campaign set up and the ad copy and creative for you in the below vid.

I'm now scaling that campaign to see just how far I can take it.

If you want to get the Custom GPTs I used to create these ads and access to the course I have on how to set up your campaigns, you can find them all in GM+.

And you can check it all out for $1 on the trial.

Any Qs, hit reply and let me know.

Speak soon,

Yesterday I mentioned "The Thread." That invisible line connecting your first ad or cold outreach to the moment a client signs a contract for the big thing. And when you're getting fewer sales for the "big thing", most founders think the solution is to simply add "more." More leads. More SDRs. More ad spend. But if your "Thread" is broken, "More" is just an expensive way to realise your system is leaking. I mean, if you've got a bucket with no bottom, throwing more water in the top isn't...

I’m starting the outreach for a new business venture today. Most people at this stage do the 'tactical' thing... They buy a list Hire a virtual assistant to spam LinkedIn asking for a call or promoting the offer And hope for a 1% reply rate. A huge waste of capital and time. With the new venture, I've spent the last week building out the architecture behind the offer. I’ve been mapping the 'Thread' that connects the first touchpoint to the final contract. Most businesses, even those doing...

I’m curious... What AI are you actually using? Or are you just "collecting" subscriptions? We’ve been debating this in GM+ lately because, frankly, the shine has worn off OpenAI for me. To give you some context, I’ve been an OpenAI power user since the start. But the 5.2 release? It’s woeful. I spend more time arguing with the "Custom GPTs" than I do getting actual work done. I guess they told it to stop being so sycophantic, now it's like a petulant little kid who doesn't like when you tell...
